Notes

Press release: "Starting 'women in comics' month on the show, we have a couple of interviews with small press creators who are selling their self published periodicals at festivals and competitions around the country. Dickon Harris talks to "Bea", a.k.a. Beatrice Lane, in an interview recorded at the Bristol Small Press expo and Alex Fitch talks to Francesca Cassavetti in an interview recorded at "Schmurgen con" in Mile End. "Bea" publishes "Bear Cave" 'zines on a variety of subjects from short fiction to music reviews, with her latest issue "The most splendid bands I know" due out shortly, while Francesca's "Fab Toons" comics tell a variety of autobiographical stories from her life, in strip format, from her days at art school to dating a former punk star and the birth of her first child."
